[Repeater-Builder] MastrII UHF 2C ICOMS -> VHF?

2004-08-24 Thread johnmichaelwelton
I have a pair of 2C UHF ICOMs on a 458 freq. Can I use these on 146 
Mhz for a repeater project I am working on or do I need the VHF High 
Band ICOMs?

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Simulcast

2004-08-24 Thread skipp025
Two or three ways to go: 

If the repeater has a high stability tx channel element, 
you could add a southern similcast transmitter with audio 
delay line and it's respective high stab osc. The process 
requires a bit of enginnering and setup. 

The other thought would be to simply duplicate the page 
on the added local southern transmitter, delayed or same time 
with an expected not-so-good sounding overlap. 

If the page function is not that busy, the delayed/stored and 
forward /que'd method would be easier and mo'cheaper.

Hi Randy

We used a Zetron model 55 which is a regenerative
paging store and forward(imagine a digital parrot
repeater.We used it for remote paging zoning but am
quite sure it can be used on same frequency as voice .
They were reliable and one model 55 Zetronwith a
gm300\or m120 was the complete hardware required.
I do remember a model 66 which could basically do
voice and paging as a remote panel.

[Repeater-Builder] Simulcast

2004-08-24 Thread Randy Elliott
Hi Gang

I have an interesting problem that has come to me. A small Fire Dept. near
me call today and were wondering if I could get them a Zetron Simplexer. Not
too familiar with it I surmised it was a digital recorder with a
re-broadcaster. I could be way off in this guess. Anyway their main problem
is that their main repeater located many miles north of downtown is
connected via land line from their dispatch center that is located in the
downtown core. When they activate the pagers the transmitted signal of
course comes from the repeater, the coverage into south parts of the town is
very poor in some areas so as a result some peoples pagers never active.
My question is this, could a low power transmitter be located at their
dispatch center that would be only keyed when a page out was initiated? This
would hopefully help coverage into the lower parts of town.
Hope this makes sense to everyone. Looking forward to any comments.

[Repeater-Builder] M2 station PA output network revisited

2004-08-24 Thread Jeff DePolo

A few months back there was some discussion about the tunable antenna
matching network in Mastr II station PA's.  I thought I'd throw out some
measurements I made today on a 100 watt UHF, 450-470 split (unmodified)
operating at 442.550.

With the antenna network tuned per the GE instructions, current draw was
29.0A at 13.80V (13.80V measured at the ring lugs at the end of the
power cables).  This equates to an efficiency of 24.99% - 300 watts of
heat.  The relative reading on the DVM at the test point on the antenna
network was 0.92V.

With the antenna network re-tuned for best efficiency (which is how I
always tune them), current draw was reduced to 22.6A for 100 watts.
This is an efficiency of 31.6%, 216 watts dissipation.  With the network
tuned like this, the relative reading at the test point was 2.82V.

Note that the current draws cited above were for the whole station, not
just the PA, so in reality, the efficiency of the PA by itself is a
little better (and the dissipation a little lower) than what was stated
above.  I'm guessing the station sans PA consumes maybe 10-15W, the rest
is the PA.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: R100 Repeater

2004-08-24 Thread Dave Schmidt
I had several Moto R100 repeaters. The PA is based on the Motorola
MOSTAR, everything else, I have no clue. 

Software can be found at the hackersrussia web site

The software hack to make the R100 go out of band can be found at:
http://www.batlabs.com/r100.html

The programming cable is VERY SIMPLE, and DOES NOT need a RIB
interface, it just plugs directly into the serial port on the computer.
That schematic is at:
http://www.batlabs.com/images/r100.gif

As for using the repeater - I left the R100 controller connected -
somewhat, but connected the audio path cables to the empty DB-25 port
on the bottom of the case as well as bringing the COR, PTT etc, all the
necessary signals down to the DB-25 port. If you have a DB-25 already
there, Get rid of it, its not of any use its some funky phone patch
thingie, and install your own DB-25. Then make up your cable that goes
from the DB-25 on the R100 to your controller. Much much more reliable,
better audio, more options and control but the best thing, you will
then have an IDer. The stock R100 does not have an IDer built in the
controller board.  One of those Motorola - DUH - things I guess.

As for a manual - No can do here. I sold the last manual a while back,
but you can find them at hamfests.

And forget about taking it to a Moto dealer, a few years ago I had an
R100 that stumped me for at least a month with a problem that
disapeared if you had your eyes looking at it - but would re-aprear if
if you looked away. I took it to a couple moto shops - no one would
touch it, Motorola does not supply the parts anymore for the R100 and
the service shops do not want to waste their time on fixing an old
heap.

Don't get me wrong, I like the dang things in fact I'm actually looking
for a couple more just because they are compact.

I have a question though, I've always seen UHF R100 repeaters, Was
there ever a VHF version? If so, I would love to get my hands on one of
them.

Ryan, I'll bet the "motorola shop" does not even know how to work on 
the R100, letalone program it.

If the R100 IS PL, then it can only do PL. DPL requires a different 
microprocessor and a lot of parts changes. They will go to 440 and to 
474 with some alignment. They are NOT broadband.

Being that the German Maxtrac, alias R100, are up near 14 to 18 years 
old you may need to replace a few caps, the two big ones in the power 
supply, and a few on the big logic board.
There are a few improvement mods we have made to the R100's over the 
years.

Not many options - PL / DPL is about it.  BTW - the key is a "standard" 2135

You're right about the cap part, but it's an indication of a bad cap. If 
you have another channel element, try putting it in and see if the 
problem is still there. If not, change the xtal over to that element. If 
it is still there, it could either be both elements are bad, or more 
likely one of the caps in the exciter itself are bad.
If you're injecting tone where the PL encoder normally injects it, then 
you're in the right place-don't change it. Although you COULD try 
putting a resistor in series with the output of the decoder. Don't know 
if that would help or not...

[Repeater-Builder] UHF GE Mastr II &/or transmission line wanted

2004-08-24 Thread Rodger, AB0YW

Hi,

I'm looking for a UHF repeater system.  I need 7/8" hardline (about 250')
as well as the station equipment.  My ideal system would be a GE Mastr II
base station setup, complete with duplexers.  I'm interested in 75w or
110w PA, but would be willing to buy a system minus PA.  I will handle
conversion and re-crystaling.

Also, I would be interested in buying duplexers separate if anyone has a
good deal.

I live in Nebraska and am willing to drive regionally for pick-up.  If
anyone has these items, please let me know.

Thanks and 73,

- Rodger

First of all, the name "Maxtrac" got used on several different chassis.

You need to post the full model number for us to help you.

Lastly once you supply the model number we can look it up in
a manual and post the differences.  You may want to rebuild the
RF circuits, or you may end up trading, or selling on eBay.

[Repeater-Builder] R100 Repeater

2004-08-24 Thread texaswpd103

I picked up a good used Mot R100 repeater that I received today. It 
did not come with a manual or the key to open the cover. Does anybody 
know if the key is a universal Motorola key or each take an 
individual key. Also, does anybody have an electronic version of the 
manual. I am going to take to my local Motorola shop to have 
programmed but would like to know all of the options I have before I 
go in. Thanks,  Ryan Holt

Actually there is enough tuning to allow you to use their 450-470 units from
about 440 to 480so it will work for you.  I've used the same model
(different Variant) both on a 442 system and on a T Band system at 473.

[Repeater-Builder] SS-32/5K/Micor

2004-08-24 Thread Kevin Berlen
I am installing a Comm Spec SS-32 encoder in a Micor
repeater. I am using a logic output from an S-Com 5K
controller to key the ground connection to the encoder
whenever the RX COR is active. I need to do this to
be able to link into another system.

My problem is when ever the encoder is keyed or
unkeyed, it causes the TX to drift off frequency about
+/- 900Hz. It apears that this is being casued by a cap
charging/discharging. I have tried several different
tone insertion points, always with the same result.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an
alternate way to hook up the PL encoder? TIA
and 73,

Kevin, K9HX

Re: [Repeater-Builder] rfi 28-70-41a

2004-08-24 Thread Eric Lemmon
Ian,

I suspect that the duplexer was made by TX-RX Systems.  The "28"
indicates that it uses the "Vari-Notch" pseudo bandpass circuit, the
"70" indicates that it is for the 450-470 MHz band, and the "41" is an
electrical specification of the number, size, and shape of the
cavities.  The "a" indicates a standard 19-inch rack mount.

My TX-RX catalog does not list a "41" variant, so it might be a special
model.  Contact <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for help in determining the
specifications of your duplexer.
